"All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ. Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure." - Ephesians 1:3-5

2 1/2 more months

Last night, Rod, the girls and I went out for pizza. We had been to this restaurant once or twice before and the girls seem to like it.

We informed the hostess that there were four of us and she lead us to a booth. Watching Nikelle scoot into the bench, I could tell that something wasn't right. The benches at the boothes move and this one was just too close to the table. I couldn't move it either because someone was already sitting on the other side.

With everyone watching and Nikelle already making herself comfortable, I had to inform the waitress that this wasn't going to work.

"I can't fit," I stated. "You want me to get you another table?" she asked. "I can't fit," I stated again.

How was I supposed to feel? Clearly, any adult couldn't fit into that spot. Still, with hearing recent comments such as "You're really gaining weight" and "I don't know where the other three months will go", this was just icing on the cake.

Thankfully, I was able to keep myself together. I rationally told myself that not even a normal size adult could not have fit there comfortably, let alone one with a belly like mine. We were seated at a table and enjoyed our dinner.

Only a few comments came from my daughter about this scenario.

"I wanted to sit in the booth." "You fit last time." "What happens if someone's too fat and sits in the chair." I just smiled as she answered herself, "They'd squish it."

About Me

Over the years, I have struggled with finding my identity. At times I've looked to my husband, my daughters, my parents and extended family, even friends. Lately, the importance of finding my identity in God alone has been extreme. Looking to anyone else for my identity has caused me great heartache and confusion. Being God's child gives me a solid forever identity that will not change.

Micah 6:8

And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.

Will You Love Jesus More?

Will you love Jesus more when we go our different ways?When this moment is a memory will you remember His face?Will you look back and realizeyou sensed His love more than you did before?I'd pray for nothing less than for you to love Jesus more!
